Community College students should meet with a counselor as soon as possible to determine the equivalent courses offered at that institution. Students should complete as many as possible of the lower division requirements listed below, prior to transfer.
Lower Division Course Requirements | Community College Course Equivalents | |
Preparation for the Major: | ||
| General Chemistry Equivalent Course | Chem 101 General Chemistry AND Chem 102 General Chemistry OR Chem 102 General Chemistry AND Chem 103 General Chemistry | |
| Note: SJSU requires completion of the Chemistry sequence for most majors, however this major only requires completion of one semester equivalent General Chemistry, in lieu of CHEM 1A. | ||
| MATH 030 Calculus I | Math 206 Calculus I: Differentiation AND Math 207 Calculus II: Integration | |
| MATH 031 Calculus II | Math 207 Calculus II: Integration AND Math 208 Calculus III: Sequences, Series, etc. | |
| MATH 032 Calculus III | Math 208 Calculus III: Sequences, Series, etc. AND Math 209 Calculus IV: Several Variables | |
| MATH 123 Differential Equations and Linear Algebra Community College math courses articulated with SJSU's Math 123 will meet course content requirements for the major but will not receive upper division credit. | No Current Equivalent | |
Physics Requirement: | ||
| Note: Students who begin their university experience as freshmen at San José State University will need to take the following Physics series: PHYSICS 70 and 71 (equivalent to PHYSICS 50, 51, 52) at San José State University. All transfer students will be expected to have completed the course equivalents to the Physics series listed below. | ||
| PHYS 050 General Physics/Mechanics | No Current Equivalent | |
| PHYS 051 General Physics/Electricity and Magnetism | No Current Equivalent | |
| PHYS 052 General Physics/Heat and Light | No Current Equivalent | |
| OR | ||
| PHYS 070 Mechanics | No Current Equivalent | |
| PHYS 071 Electricity and Magnetism | No Current Equivalent | |
Engineering Requirements: | ||
| CMPE 030 Programming Concepts and Methodology | No Current Equivalent | |
| OR | ||
| CMPE 046 Computer Engineering I | No Current Equivalent | |
| ENGR 010 Introduction to Engineering | No Current Equivalent | |
| EE 098 Introduction to Circuit Analysis | No Current Equivalent | |
| MATE 025 Introduction to Materials | No Current Equivalent | |
| ME 020 Design and Graphics | No Current Equivalent | |
| ENGL 001B Composition 2 <em>A "C" or better is required in English 1B (a "C-" is not acceptable). English 1B is required of all Engineering majors.</em> | No Current Equivalent | |
Lower Division General Education (39 semester or 58 quarter units) - some of the courses listed above may be approved for general education credit as well as major preparation at your institution. Please see your college counselor/advisor to review your general education in order to receive FULL OR PARTIAL CERTIFICATION PRIOR TO TRANSFER to San José State University. You may be required to take additional lower division general education courses if you do not provide SJSU WITH A FULL OR PARTIAL CERTIFICATION OF GENERAL EDUCATION upon transfer.
American Institutions Requirement (3-9 semester or 5-15 quarter units) - may be satisfied within the lower division general education requirements.
Physical Education Requirement (2 courses) - at least 2 different activities.
